Originally, it was a hamlet on Bexley Heath within the parish of Bexley. As the new settlement known as Bexleyheath developed from the late 19th century and the early 20th century, Upton became absorbed into the new town.
In 1860, Red House, the elegant brick and tile home designed by Philip Webb for William Morris, was built on the heath in Upton.[1] Red House is now preserved by the National Trust.
From 1887 to 1978, Upton had a hospital on Upton Road. The building was still there in 2019. [2]

gollark: Even when I had about 8 upgraded ones.
gollark: The nuclearcraft ones are just too slow.
gollark: Copy in a known-good reactor constantly to avert meltdown issues, replace all cooling with moderators and cells packed as densely as possible, figure out how to automate all components from raw resources, feed most power-producing fuel, repeat.
